Splash

The water ripples around me and I’m

Submerged in everything and nothing

It’s quiet and the sun shines through

I surface and fill my lungs

I float letting the current

Take me anywhere but here

I hear bird songs and river serenades

Droplets running down my skin

Held and carried

Only to be left back on the land I left

I drag my feet back home

Need and Want calling my name

Drip

Drip

Drip
